- This study examined the effectiveness of speech recognition software in providing feedback for medical students' interview skills compared to traditional voice-recording methods.
- In an observational trial with 79 medical students, those receiving speech recognition feedback showed significantly improved performance in diagnostic accuracy and clinical competence scores.
- The results indicate that using speech recognition feedback enhances the quality of medical interviews, leading to better outcomes in training future healthcare professionals.
